Why is it important?

The paper is important as it relates to Indian companies that are very substantial in number, it provides a paradigm that may be applicable to others e.g. Chinese, and it explains how success of such companies in developed markets (USA, EU etc.) can be achieved.

Perspectives

It's especially interesting to read, as it focuses not on 'hard' economic etc factors, but on 'soft' cultural and interpersonal factors of international business success
